The event took place at Cocopah Resort and Casino in Yuma, Ariz., and featured the semifinal round of the season-five bantamweight tournament.

An immediate replay of Bellator 55 drew 45,000 viewers.

In main-card action, Alexis Vila and Eduardo Dantas picked up semifinal-round victories and now meet in the finale of the bantamweight tournament. Additionally, light heavyweight champ Christian M’Pumbu was upset in a non-title fight with longtime veteran Travis Wiuff.

Once again, the latest ratings continue the organization’s wildly inconsistent season-five numbers; two events have scored at least 235,000 viewers, and three have drawn 158,000 or fewer. Bellator 55 did go unopposed by the UFC and Strikeforce.

Bellator’s six season-five events now have averaged 176,000 viewers per show. Bellator’s three monthly “Summer Series” events averaged 242,000 viewers. Season four, which took place earlier this year, averaged 204,000 viewers.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
